Yeah. For namesake purposes I need to listen to this one again.
Nick Cave has always been a hot/cold artist for me.

I think the entire early 90s belonged to them. Certainly the most missed record label, I find it so much harder to find great new music since they disappeared.

There were a few good releases, but a pretty weak year IMO. I remember listening to and buying a lot of old music during this time because I was so underwhelmed with the current offerings.

Bafflingly, I've never much cared for Automatic for the People. One of those things where some people think I'm being contrary because it was popular. But I'm not. Out of Time was popular and is a much more obviously commercial-sounding record. I love that one. Somehow, the appeal of Automatic has always eluded me a bit. Anyway, there it is.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

You're not the only one with that opinion of
Automatic For The People
. I thought it was horrible, but also still liked
Out Of Time
. I would give them one more try with
Monster
, which I didn't care for either. After that, I was done with R.E.M. -
organicprankster — 9 years ago(November 21, 2016 01:26 PM)
Oh, I don't think Automatic is
horrible
. But it would come quite far down my ranked R.E.M. albums were I to compile such a list. I think R.E.M. only made one truly horrible album (Around the Sun). All the others have at least some merit, but Automatic doesn't gel with me as it seems to for millions of others. Such is life.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

At least you could appreciate it on some level. I was so turned off by it, I ended up trading it away after enough plays, and that's a rarity for me. I can only think of a handful of albums/CDs that I've done that with. Usually I'll find something salvageable enough to keep it.
But I know my opinion is in the minority. -

I am not a fan of anything REM did after Green (and I only like about half of that one). I will always love the early stuff through Reckoning and I still like the rest of the stuff up until Out Of Time. Then they just stopped being recognizable to me, it seemed like a calculated act after that. This is our "eclectic" one! This is our "Rockin'" one! "This is our serious one!"
To me AFTP was a total "Emperor's new clothes" record. I heard it before it was officially released and flat out hated it, expected it to be a disaster when the public heard it, except for a couple tracks (Nightswimming obviously is one).
I saw it as moribund, pretentious AND shallow - a lot of it reminded me of a Hallmark card. Then it came out and people fawned all over it and to this day, Stipe still thinks it's their best. I was totally shocked. I didn't like Out Of Time much but this was a different level of dislike I don't quite loathe it the way I did then but it's definitely on my shortlist of most overrated albums of all-time.
Dayodead, a good guy on this board with good taste too would/will disagree but he has heard this particular rant of mine so much by now he is either amused by it or cringing at it by this point. -

I know what you mean. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's more or less exactly how it worked in the studio. Peter Buck decided the mood of their records - 'This will be our Nebraska' - and they were always in some manner reacting against the previous LP rather than evolving naturally in the way they had seemed to on IRS.

You're a lot harsher than I'd be. I evidently have a much higher tolerance for Warner Bros era R.E.M. than you do, pretty much enjoying everything up to and including Up (barring perhaps half of Automatic for the People and half of Monster) but I still know exactly where you're coming from.There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

Don't worry, I forgive you for your misguided opinion on REM.
Stipe still thinks it's their best.
Actually, I've heard him say more than once,
Lifes rich pageant
and
New adventures in Hi-Fi
are his favorites and Best records(And I concur
)
